I'm trying to cut down the amount of meat we eat, not just because the price of good quality meat is getting very high, but I guess it's gotta have some health benefits, too.

Tofu is something I am still getting into. I've tried different ways of preparing it, different brands and flavours and I have not always liked the outcome. One way I do like having it is in Tofu Fajitas. I use my Fajita Seasoning Mix and make the fajitas as I would normally do, just replacing the chicken with Beech Smoked Tofu. Quick, healthy and satisfying.

They do look delicious Sylvie. The jury is still out on tofu in this house. I am afraid I am not overly fond of the consistency. It's also very bland, but then I suppose chicken can be pretty bland as well!

What a good idea, I am also eating far less meat than I was and have embraced tofu and have even made my own from scratch (written up on my blog), from soy beans and the home made is delicious, vastly different to shop offerings.

My top tofu tips are to press it well to squeeze out all the water and to marinade it. Experiment with tofu, there are ways to love it, but I agree that bad tofu can put you off for life, which would be a shame!
